We never will, but we should send a stern please explain to the AFL regarding the umpiring today. Absolutely [censored] disgraceful.

How can they be allowed to make so many mistakes? Pathetic.

Also please for the love of god no more Byrnes. He is useless.

Edit: Fitzy is fantastic, and Watts has had the most remarkable transformation since Neeld was sacked.

I will never understand why Nicholson is in this team. His kicking is a joke.

So what IS the rule for forced behinds?

Maybe that failed Tiger and failed umpire coach Gieshen could explain it........if he or anyone else actually knows. :-)))

The club has a few forwards at its disposal . Mitch, Dawes, Watts, Hogan and Fitzy. Fitzy maybe good trade bait for the saints or bullies.

Fitzgerald is an Interesting one. Was touted a top 10 draft pick a year before his draft. Was diagnosed with chronic fatigue in his trade year and was poor as a result and his trade stocks diminished. It turns out he has diabetes and has improved a lot since this has been managed.

Has played well against the best defensive team in the league. He could be something good or just a flash in the pan. Play him for the rest of the season and trade him if Mitch's foot is ok

Of the five you mention, only three are on the Paddock today, and we have never had more than that available. Effectively what you are suggesting is that we trade our tallest and second youngest forward to leave us with two. What is the logic in that?

Why would we bloody trade him?!

Coz we need mids more than forwards!!! We have too many talls in the team. You cant trade crap and get AFL players. Fitzy is showing value ATM and he may gets us a mid that is more important to the team

Simple really

People forget that as one of the lowly teams we get the most inexperienced umpires, week in week out. The good umpires get the Geelong hawthorn gigs.

Its not right, Its not fair. It is what it is.

I understand your logic but I think it would be ludicrous to trade out what's looking to be our one of our best big men.

Fitzy apart from Hogan is the only fwd we have who is not carrying an injury, why would we trade him? Beautiful lead, and his kicking is improving with confidence. Do not sell. Tippett is an example of why Frawley is gold dust and must be retained.

Trengove simply can't run with McVeigh. We were supposed to have drafted an 'elite' runner in Trenners.

Draft Notes:

Trengove has all the right physical attributes - height, endurance and speed. He is possibly the best marking midfielder in the draft - the way he floats across packs at times is reminiscent of James Hird. His skills are sound and, watching him play, the thing you notice is his constant involvement in what is going on. He gets to the right places and, when he's there, usually has some sort of say in what happens with the ball. He's a smart, brave, perceptive player with the skills to finish things off.

Trengove dispelled any doubt over his speed off the mark at last month's state testing session in Adelaide. He ran 2.97 seconds in the 20-metre sprint to complement his awesome endurance - he's a former state-level cross country runner.

Ok, as I said, trade out one of our excess tall forwards. Fitzy has the least history at AFL. He has been impressive today. Take him out and put in a very good midfielder with Hogan, Clark, Watts and Dawes in the forward line.

It's simple IMO.

As i said it depends on Clarks Injury

It was actually the correct call. He didn't kick it to himself, can't dispose of it with a handball.

My understand is that it should then be a bounce on the top of the goal line.

He's our best (along side Watts) ATM. Watts maybe having a poor game in the forward line today, but he is a very good swingman. Down back toady he's been better.

It's a good problem to have but the club needs mids. They need to look at trading for a good mid. The draft and pre season draft will help, but our whole list is un balanced with talls. Dunn is not going to get us a player

He needed to kick it to himself to restart play first. This is why the rule was bought in. CORRECT DECISION

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
